1t il only when We compare Presl-
dent ClevelandPs vetoes Of bills Affect
ing North and South that We are COM
PEELED 10 conclude that he 10 either ?
Southern man in heart, or that he is
willing to insult tho people OF the
North and prostitute their industrial
interests for the sake Of getting the
vote Of the solid South 10 help him to
another term in the Presidential chair.
An Ohio Congressman the other day
hit tho nail squArsly on the head when
he said: SIT Is IN Naturalization Of
the solid South, thAts what 1t Is"
This remark Was caused by looking
over President Cleveland's action on
public building bills, which have come
tpfore him during the present Congress,
wherein It appears that he has approx
Cd eight public building bills, eli In the
South, and vetoed two in the same Sec
ticn, while In the North he has vetoed
elk.

approved, oil In the South:

going TO show whi,h side OF the 'euc,
the President lie upon, and If any proc
Is lacking in this respec. IL can b,
found in the reasons he gives for hi
vetoes. He lays stress on the fact tina

places where 1t is proposed to erect tn,
public buildings, bu. in the face of thi
excuse he approved bills for Augusta
Ga, Houston, Tex, and Greensboro
Ky, where no court Is held. Houston
